As for Josh Taylor, all systems will give a rematch with Jack Catterall but says he won’t wait too long for the fight to be unified.
Taylor vacated WBA and WBC ultralightweight world titles leaving the former IBF and WBO non-disputed champion to defend Catterall for the second time.
Come back in February Catterall almost got the whole lot with the best performance of his career, it seemed enough to beat Taylor at Glasgow’s SSE Hydro. The judges acknowledged otherwise handed the Scot a discriminatory ruling that resulted in a bitter defeat between both the fighters and their supporters.
Taylor now wants to reassure those who doubted and criticized him Edinburgh Evening News that the Catterall rematch was all he was thinking about.
“The only reason I’m at 140lbs is so I can face him again. I’m pretty sure this will be the last fight in the weight class and then I’ll go ahead, unless there’s a really, really big fight.”
“I threw him a bone again. I don’t have to do it but I want to. I did everything in my power to make it happen so it’s over for him now. But if he can’t work things out on his part, then I won’t have to wait around forever.”
“So pack your things Jack and get going. He’s been crying for almost five months now like a spoiled child. And I think that’s starting to turn people against him the way he’s been. He sounds like a broken record. Now I’m just tired.”
“I’m going to sit tight on it for now and hope my team can agree a deal with him. I’ll give him three or four weeks of competition, but if I don’t hear anything I’ll move on. “
